WOMEN'S SOCCER TO HONOR SENIOR CLASS AT 2024 HOME FINALE

Jaguars to host Oakland University at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday (Oct. 26)

10/24/2024 2:20:00 PM

INDIANAPOLIS - The IU Indianapolis women's soccer team will honor its eight member senior class following Saturday's regular season home finale as the Jaguars host Oakland University (3-12-2, 2-6 HL) at 1:00 p.m. on ESPN+. The Jaguars come in tied for fifth in the Horizon League standings with 11 points with two regular season games to play. The top six teams make the Horizon League Tournament with the Nos. 3 and 4 seeds hosting quarterfinals contests on Sunday, Nov. 3. 

Sophomore Caroline Kelley continues to pace a balanced Jaguar offensive attack with five goals while junior Emma Frey has four goals and four assists. Both Hannah Roberson and Cassie Rodriguez have three goals apiece while graduate transfer Maia Ransom has a team-high five assists. Senior Ashton Kudlo has been strong in goal with a 1.67 goals against average and .771 save percentage. She matched her career-high with 12 saves in a recent loss to Milwaukee, surpassing 200 in her collegiate career in the process. 

The defensive core of Sarah Henson, Katie Hoog and Kailyn Smith has continued to shine along the back line with Hoog leading the trio with 1,380 minutes played. 

The Jaguars will recognize eight seniors at the conclusion of Saturday's match as Emma Antoine, Makenna Collins, Emily Keck, Abbey Renner, Kudlo, Ransom, Roberson, and Rodriguez will be honored. Antoine, who had a team-high 10 assists last season, has been limited to just two appearances this season due to injury while Collins, who missed nearly all of last season due to injury, had her season come to a premature end because of injury. Renner has also missed significant time this season due to injury, but recently returned to action.

A victory on Saturday, coupled with either a Purdue Fort Wayne draw or defeat would clinch a postseason berth.

SCTOP10 X 2
Junior midfielder Emma Frey was featured on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 plays twice last week with a pair of strikes. Against Green Bay, she converted a well devised free kick off a back heel pass from Cassie Rodriguez for the game's first goal in the 4-1 victory. At NKU, she drilled a shot off the underside of the crossbar from nearly 35 yards from goal for the team's lone score. 

SCOUTING OAKLAND
Oakland is 3-12-2 overall and 2-6 in Horizon League play. The Golden Grizzlies are 1-7-1 away from home on the season and has been outscored 34-10 on the season.

In goal, Julia Zangerl has a 1.83 goals against average and .710 save percentage in her 16 appearances (15 starts).
